Abstract: A terminal apparatus according to the present application includes a receiving unit, a first display control unit, and a second display control unit. The receiving unit receives an operation to designate a first area. When the receiving unit has received the operation to designate the first area, the first display control unit displays first input candidates. When an operation to designate a second area has been received, the second display control unit displays second input candidates corresponding to a first input candidate determined to be selected among the first input candidates.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes cursor control, display position change, and range selection units. When switching operation for switching to a selection mode for selecting characters included in a display region displayed in a display unit is detected, the cursor control unit displays another cursor different from a cursor displayed in the display region. When moving operation for moving the display region is detected in the selection mode, the display position change unit maintains one cursor at an original display position or a certain position near the original display position in the display unit, and moves a display position of the display region together with the other cursor in accordance with the moving operation. The range selection unit determines, to be a selection range, a region between the one cursor and the other after the movement of the display position of the display region by the display position change unit.

Abstract: An image processing device according to the present application includes an accepting unit and a specifying unit. The accepting unit accepts image data that includes therein at least two diagrams that can be extracted as circles. The specifying unit specifies, by checking a parameter that is calculated from a pair of two circles included in the image data accepted by the accepting unit against a parameter that is calculated from a pair of two perfect circles that have previously been registered as markers that are used for image processing, the pair of the two circles included in the image data as the markers.

Abstract: An image processing apparatus includes an image storage unit, a conversion unit, and an output unit. The image storage unit stores therein multiple images with different viewpoint positions. The conversion unit converts each of the images stored in the image storage unit to each of images to be imaged by imaging devices that are arranged such that respective optical axes pass through a dynamically set position in a target object. The output unit outputs the images converted by the conversion unit.

Abstract: An information providing device according to the exemplary embodiment includes an object recognizing unit, a retrieving unit, an obtaining unit, and a transmitting unit. The object recognizing unit extracts an image of a specific object which appears in an image of a moving image content to be distributed to a terminal device. The retrieving unit requests a retrieval device to retrieve a similar image with the image of the specific object as a retrieval key and obtains a retrieval result from the retrieval device. The obtaining unit obtains recommend information related with an image of the specific object which appears in an image of a moving image content based on the retrieval result. The transmitting unit transmits the recommend information to the terminal device.

Abstract: An advertisement distribution apparatus includes: a receiver that receives a display request including a viewpoint condition and advertisement information; an advertisement space setting unit that sets an advertisement space corresponding to the viewpoint condition to video data of an arbitrary viewpoint position generated based on imaging data having different viewpoint positions; an advertisement information setting unit that sets the advertisement information received by the receiver to the advertisement space set by the advertisement space setting unit; and a video transmitter that transmits the video data of the arbitrary viewpoint position in which the advertisement information is set in the advertisement space to a terminal device.
